I was watching the discovery channel and as I remember it, I think some scientists are saying that maybe, just maybe, the Egyptians might have influenced the Mayans. I wonder if the Egyptians and the Mayans communicated somehow!? Maybe through the sky, such as constellations(sp) and stuff through the heavens, who knows!

I read somewhere that this one guy sailed in a reed boat from Africa to America and it worked! So, if the Egyptians also had wooden boats, which would be much more likely to sail longer, then why couldn't they have sailed to South America and influenced the Mayans and Aztecs?

Oh, and did you know that there were Hieroglyphics discovered in Australia? Just like read Egyptian Hieroglyphics, and even a drawn figure of Anubis! If yo search for Australia Hieroglyphics or something on a search engine you can find soem cool sites about it, and they have pictures.

They have also discovered traces of nicotine in ancient mummies. Tobacco supposedly wasn't introduced to Egypt until thousands of years later. IF there was contact between Egypt and the Americas then this might explain this. A lot of egyptologists are passing the results of as a mistake!

Quite often throughout the investigation of these ancient cultures it is found that influences upon each other seem to stem from the fact that 'someone from the heavens' has arrived to show them how to do things. The Mayans and Aztecs believed that a 'winged serpent type god' called Quetzalcoatl arrived and showed them how to create the temples and pyramids, and how to align them with the heavens.
We've all read about the Pyramids on the Giza plateau being aligned with the constellation of Orion, and perhaps the Nile with the Milky Way.
There are the 'Nazca Lines' in Peru which are images drawn from singular lines that are only visible from the air.

Yet no orthodox theory suggests that they ever knew how to fly, or that no evidence has been given. Still no one of importance has given a theory as to how the stars can be aligned perfectly without the aid of telescopes. or how a set of nine temples can be located on one piece of ground in perfect representation of the nine planets of our solar system - even if Pluto wasn't discovered by our civilization until something like 1920. And as usual going back to the Great Pyramid, how can something so perfect have been created by these 'primitive beings'?

This is why there are so many unorthodox theories out there. Everyone is on a quest to find out the truth and, unfortunately, when the theories of those 'professionals' is found to be flawed they do not go and revise the theory to try and find the truth, they humiliate and cast out those who questioned it in the first place saying they are talking nonsense.

Personally I may not believe in aliens, but I will read everything out there no matter how absurd looking for clues. I am currently developing an Ancient Egypt site and I will read and link to anyone that has a view of how things were done, such as the building of the pyramid. The thing that scholars don't seem to understand is that they will never find out more information by talking in their little groups, they have to open it out a little.
I want everyone who has an interest to give their views and findings. Only by doing this will you get information which could hold vital clues to something.

Right now there could be an orthodox scholar with one half of the puzzle and an unorthodox high school dropout with another half. Until you bring the two together you will not be able to see the whole picture and make sense of it.

The insise of the pyramid seems to act like a type of electrical conductor. If you were in the pyramid, you could try this experiment. Get a glass bottle (filled with water) and hold it up in the center of the pyramid. Be sure to insulate the bottle with a type of insulator. If you wait about a half of an hour, an electrical energy will be built up within the bottle. Have another Person touch the bottle (who is not afraid of shocks) touch the bottle. A long arc of electricity should connect to the individual before he actually touches the bottle. This has been confirmed several hundred years ago.

Also, this may have been proved many hundreds of years ago (Please provide your sources of information) but when the pyramid was constructed certain access, such as that to the kings chamber, was not accessible to humans due to it being closed off. Holding a bottle of water in the pyramid 'center' nowadays is one thing but, but that would not be possible that long ago unless one of the chambers was the bottle with some sort of insulation surrounding that.

Then you have the problem of how the electromagnetic buildup was discharged so that it could be used, and how the water was refilled after evaporation. Perhaps the 'air shafts' could have been used to refill, but why if this is the case are they also blocked off and show no signs of water erosion?

Nothing... If the admin of the board reads it: Wouldn't it be better if only those could post who are registered? Maybe we should keep a topic opened for non-registered users (that kind of poster who only want to get 1 homework quetion answered and then never come back again...) and the rest would be only for registered users.

I always thought Ziggurats were like obelisks. (sp?) But, hey, I don't know everything. Not even close! But, as to your question, Meritaton; I'm a moderator. That's like a cop online. All I do is make sure everyone is following the rules, and delete offending posts. The Administrator is the owner of the board. Not me. I haven't seen kingtutone on in a while..._________________
